Uroflowmeter is a medical device used to measure the flow of urine. The measurement of urine flow is also known as uroflometry, which is performed to measure the amount of voided urine during urination. This test is used to identify difficulties in urination, such as slow urination, weak urine stream, or others. This test can also be used to check the performance of sphincter muscles that prevent urine leakage. Certain conditions, such as benign prostatic hypertrophy, enlargement of the prostate gland, which can block the urethra completely, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, or urinary blockage, can affect the flow of urine.

Key Drivers and Restraints of Global Uroflowmeter Market

There is a high prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and rise in the rate of prostate gland enlargement among geriatric population. According to an NIH study, the overall prevalence of chronic kidney disease in general public is nearly 15%. High blood pressure and diabetes are primary causes of chronic kidney disease. Around 50% of people suffering from chronic kidney disease are either diabetic or have cardiovascular disease (CVD). Enlargement of the prostate gland is a common problem in men aged above 58 years. It causes blockage of the urinary tract, which restricts proper urination. Moreover, rise in the prevalence of urinary bladder cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, growing economy, and increase in awareness about health care are factors that are expected to drive the global uroflowmeter market during the forecast period.

Technological advancements in terms of different modalities and mergers & acquisitions among leading players are prominent trends observed in the global uroflowmeter market

Geriatric population is expected to increase the patient pool worldwide, which, in turn, is projected to drive the uroflowmeter market during the forecast period. Based on the United Nations Report in 2017, geriatric population, aged 60 years and above, is expected to rise two-fold by 2050. The number is projected to reach 2.1 billion, an increase from 962 million in 2017. Furthermore, the geriatric patient pool in developing regions, such as Latin America, Asia, and Africa, is anticipated to rise rapidly. For instance, the number of geriatric people in developing regions is estimated to increase by 154% between 2017 and 2050, exceeding 1.6 billion by 2050.

Hospitals End-user Segment to Witness Significant Growth

Hospitals end-user segment is expected to account for the highest share of the uroflowmeter market by 2027. The hospitals segment is projected to exhibit a positive market attractiveness during the forecast period. Surge in the number of baby boomers aged 50 years and above suffering from urologic disorders and a rise in the number of surgeries performed in hospitals are projected to propel the adoption of uroflowmeter, which, in turn, will to boost market growth.

In terms of region, the global uroflowmeter market can be divided into: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa

North America continues to be the most profitable region for vendors operating in the global uroflowmeter market, owing to rise in prevalence of bladder cancer in the region, significant adoption of technologically advanced products, presence of a large number of manufacturers in the U.S., and high health care spending in the region

According to The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the overall incidence of urinary retention is 4.5 to 6.8 per 1,000 men, per year, in the U.S. It also states that more than 250,000 surgical procedures for Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) are performed every year in the U.S., leading to 2 million office visits. This is likely to propel the demand for uroflowmeter in the near future.
